Why do people hate A7X?

Did I ever say they stopped me from listening to them? No. Stop assuming.

I have listened to a few songs from them, I wasn't impressed. Running into annoying fans only serves to reinforce that I don't like them.

i really like sounding the seventh and waking the fallen, and even city of evil but after that i just didn't really care for them. not saying they are bad now but i kills me a little bit when i hear unholy confessions and chapter four with now screaming just singing.

Because the stole Portnoy.

I can explain this very briefly, this isnt a problem connected to the quality of the music. Frankly 90% of people today listen to shit, pop has become the main genre since its the easiest to sell and it sells well, I dont listen to A7X, never will and I wont say what I think of it. Main point: Due different tastes of music and the strong influence of pop or if we look at this from the aspect of people who listen to todays metal will consider everything shitty that isnt within the current norm of main musical dominance right now, so basically since they are not emo faggots that are styled with the current metal fashion and dont scream like pussies newcomers dont like them since they dont actually know how to appreciate real metal or the other way around oldfags dont like them since they lack quality compared to old metal. Good old real metal fans who know what quality is and arent wannabe emo metal fans will not care about how they look like but how they play and the quality of songs (although its nowhere near anything like the good old metal that once was).

I found this funnier than I should have. xD

You're wrong, pal. Bieber is the worst genre ever.

I didn't know this was even an issue.. Obviously there will be a lot of people that don't like the genre, but are we saying that most people that listen to heavy metal don't like A7X?

Their songs are completely hit-and-miss with me. In my opinion, there are songs that are crazy good and some that are complete and utter garbage, but I definitely like A7X overall. The Rev will always be one of my favorite drummers. RIP!

I like em, old and new, though I am not really a fan of other "radio rock" bands that are similar.

some of you are on crack..
my favourite album thus far is their self titled album. and i like pretty much ALL their stuff. i don't give a shit if they used to attempt to scream, and now they sing.. it's like that with lots of bands, they tried to scream when they started out (and you'll find there is a pretty even trend in their stuff still, especially stuff like won't see you tonight - so far away), their mellow stuff is still mellow, and sounds good, cept he can sing better now.

I think half the time some people who claim bands change are just full of shit.. linkin park now, that's just stupid... that is one change that is very noticeable.. a7x on the other hand, it's barely noticeable unless your a finicky bastard.

Long story short, i like ALL their stuff... more so the newer stuff, cause he can actually sing... also, his screaming wasn't great.
This coming from a trivium fan, of which pretty much the same thing happened, but he still screams, but can sing heaps better.

"Emo Maiden dude. I Fuckin' bleed Tears, while I fly the Icarus."

Everything after City of Evil was pretty good, before that isn't really worth mentioning. Also other than the vocals, nothing about them really stands out from all the other heavy, hardcore, ummm...screamy bands.

The only album I've actually listened to by them was City of Evil, and I actually liked it for the most part.

That newer song, So Far Away, is also pretty legit. The first time I heard it it reminded me so much of my brother it almost made me cry.

I hate Avenged Sevenfold because all the teenagers in my neighborhood wore their merch, and acted like they were some seriously bad motherfuckers for liking the band, and wearing their hoodies.

But mostly my beef isn't with the band itself, as the way they're portrayed. I'm not against Artists/Bands/Stuff that are 'mainstream'. It's when people act like they're hot shit, for liking certain mainstream things, and then acting like a douche to people who don't also wear the insignia of

The vocalist's voice is kind of... nasal sounding, which really turns me off.

I prefer new vocals over the old ones. Screamo music isn't my cup of tea.

Highly overrated in my opinion.

This is.. i dont even know where to start. Ignore those motherfuckers. Hate those motherfuckers. No reason to hate the band itself. The logo is kickass so please do not insult it.

ALSO, HIS VOICE TURNS ME ON.

I like all their music. Old, new, its all awesome.

Some people say that they changed too much. If they didnt i bet you would be complaining that their music is always the same blabla. Haters gonna hate.

Please, enjoy your music no matter the idiotic fans or what retarded crowds tell you.

Hey, man.
OP asked.
I answered. xD

I'm sure they're a decent band beneath all the WTFery, but they're not my cup of tea. :3 You're welcome to like whatever you like. I don't has a beef.

If you're sure of that why on earth would you say you hate them?

Not trying to pick a fight on you btw. We kitties must not fight each other lol. :3

I suppose I don't 'hate' them, but I'm pretty discouraged from them. Underneath it all... they just don't... impress me enough for me to consider them when I wish to listen to music.

For starters. Do you even like rock or metal? or listened to a few of their songs?
If you don't you could listen to Seize the day or Far away. Soft stuff. But if you really don't like them that's okay.
